One of the basic issues regarding the evolution of anthozoan colors that can be addressed at the present state of knowledge is the basis of intraspecific color variation. |

The chaetetids compose a small group of organisms that was most often presumed to be among the anthozoan corals, more specifically allied to the Tabulata. |
Anthozoans are readily available on coral reefs therefore it's not surprising that anthozoan tissue is their main diet. |
Examples of other colonies are anthozoan soft corals and most reef-forming hard corals. |
This complicated bilayered structure is typical of anthozoan late planula larvae. |
